Finding yourself frustrated and overworked trying to pick out the right shopping cart, autoresponder and hosting service?

You have to stop doing all that right now and here is why: Lead generation makes you more money than anything else.

Hands down.

Focusing on anything other than lead generation when you are starting an online business is like waxing and detailing your car and forgetting to put gas in it. You will have a nice looking useless shell if your car won’t drive anywhere.

There are thousands of people out there who desperately want you to promote their ALREADY CREATED products. They have written the promotional emails, they have high converting sales letters, they have a shopping cart solution in place, they have customer support, and they have stats on how well their product converts. These folks can tell you what the best autoresponder to use is. And so on. There is zero need for you to learn and do all of this yourself when you can be building your subscriber list.

This takes daily dedicated action, consider these three points when you need to motivate yourself to focus on lead generation. [click to continue…]

Many people have turned to Google as a source of leads.  Under this scenario, you create an ad and it shows on the Google network.    Google then accesses a charge every time a prospect clicks on your ad – thus pay  per click.   For many people focused on generating leads, Google has been an effective method of advertising in the past.  However, people are looking at other options today as Google becomes more selective as to who and what can be advertised in addition to the potential of a cost of advertising because of intense keyword bidding.

A paid traffic source you could consider is pay per view or ppv to be generating leads. It comes from consumers who allow ads to pop up in their browser in return for such things as free access to [click to continue…]
